7th Pay Commission recommended for bunching of two stages in the report para 5.1.36 ,
“however if situation does arise whenever more than two stages are bunched together, one
additional increment equal to 3 percent may be given for every two stages bunched, and pay
fixed in the subsequent cell in the pay matrix.”

Also Government released order on7th September 2016, with the following instructions

1. One additional increment shall be given for every two stages bunched and the pay of
Government servant drawing higher pay in pre-revised structure shall be fixed at the next
vertical Cell in the applicable Level

2. Pay drawn by two Government servants in a given Pay Band and Grade Pay or scale where the
higher pay is at least 3% more than the lower pay shall constitute two stages. Officers
drawing pay where the difference is less than 3% shall not be entitled for this
benefit.

Illustration:

if two persons drawing pay of 53,000 and 54,590 in the GP 10,000 are to be fitted in the new
Pay Matrix, the person drawing pay of 53,000 on multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will
expect a pay corresponding to 1,36,210 and the person drawing pay of 54,590 on
multiplication by a factor of 2.57 will expect a pay corresponding to 1,40,296. Revised pay
of both should ideally be fixed in the first cell of Level 14 in the pay of 1, 44,200 but to
avoid bunching the person drawing pay of 54,590 will get fixed in second cell of Level 14 in
the pay of 1,48,500.

Based on this we have calculated bunching benefit for all the grade pay in 7th CPC
salary

Clarification needed for below topic

7000 – No Bunch

7210 – No Bunch

7430 – Bunched to next level due to equal pay for 7210
& 7430 (highlighted in Green)

7660 – After bunching both 7430 & 7660 7th CPC pay is
19700

7890 – Both 7660 & 78990 7th CPC pay is 20300

8130 – Both 7890 & 8130 7th CPC pay is 20900

8380 onwards – No Bunch

Now question is whether 7660, 7890 & 8130 is eligible for bunching or not? this is the
situation for most of the Entry Pay.

Central Government Employees seeking detailed clarification for bunching benefit for each

Railway Board officials briefed Parliamentary panel to merge the railway budget with the
general budget

New Delhi: Railway Board officials today briefed a Parliamentary panel on the implications
of the government’s decision to merge the railway budget with the general budget.

Railway Board Chairman A K Mittal explained various issues related with the merger to the
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance, sources said.

Representatives of Railway Board briefed the committee, headed by senior Congress leader M
Veerappa Moily, about the government’s budgetary reforms, including “merger of railway
budget with general budget and the ramifications thereof”, they said.

The Cabinet last month approved the Finance Ministry’s proposal on landmark budgetary
reforms relating to merger of railway budget with the general budget and the advancement of
the date of presentation from the last working day of February.

As per practice, the general budget is presented in the Lok Sabha on the last working day of
February.

The Cabinet has also given its permission to the merger of Plan and Non-Plan classification
in the Budget and Accounts.

The presentation of separate railway budget started in 1924, and has continued after
independence as a convention rather than under Constitutional provisions.

Earlier, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu had said that railways will maintain its separate
identity and functional autonomy even after merger of its budget with the general budget.

Chandigarh: Punjab Finance Minister Parminder Singh Dhindsa today gave his nod to release
6 per cent dearness allowance (DA) with November salary or pension for the government
employees and pensioners.

With the release of this DA installment, the state
would touch 125 per cent from present 119 per cent of the basic pay/pension, Dhindsa, in a
statement issued here, said.

In a relief to foreign settled retired employees, he
said DA would continue with their pensions.

The government has decided to take
back a letter stopping DA of pensioners who have acquired foreign citizenship, he added.
